Digital Service History

[simon-2euah]

I was looking at ways to digitize all my invoices and receipts for my car. Do you guys have any recommendations on apps ?

I found a few online but they don't really have reviews :
Custodian.club
AutoServiceHistory.co.uk
Loggy(mobile app)

I am looking for something that is easy and won't cost me too much and allows me to sell the car in 2 years.

I currently driving a B5 S4 Avant, so there are lots of invoices

Also, hello everyone, this is my first post on pistonheads but have been a lurker for years!

Personally, I use an app called vehicle smart. Whilst it doesn t have invoice saving it s great for keeping track of MOT tax and insurance on multiple cars.

It does let you enter service data as a free text.

Personally? I just take a photo of the receipt on my iPhone and save in a respective folder on my desktop. Quick, easy, free.

How much paperwork are you going to generate in 2 years? Just put it in the folder and give to whoever the buyer is.

I'd much prefer the original paperwork tbh.

Quite - 37 years of history for my car, with six-monthly services and including all the original purchase documents etc, still easily fits in a lever arch file.
25 years of history for my wife's is in a foolscap folder.

Sell your car to a dealer and they will take the stamped service book. Any invoices with your name and address on will be binned due to "data protection".

The next owner will get a stamped service book but the invoices dealing with the thousands spent with a marque specialist won't be passed on.

Even if you had lots of invoices over that period , keeping hard copies is hardly that onerous.
It also avoids any additional work other than filing them somewhere.
Whether paper or digital is not going to prevent any sale and in fact I might suggest that a folder full of paper to look at might actually make the sale easier.

Sometimes. I traded and bought a car yesterday. I gave the service papers which they asked for and they threw away the receipts and scrubbed names and address in front of me. Iim the car I got a 2023 service withfullnames and address from a previous owner.
